Chapter 108 Yes, that did the trick.
Doc
“Hey, VP. There is a woman at the gate asking for you,” Taylor called out while he was getting the bar ready for the birthday party tonight. We are celebrating for both Owen and Lia.
“Where is she?” I asked.
“Right at the front gate. Max just sent me a message. He said there is a girl out there for Doc, and he said she is incredibly good looking,” Taylor told me, holding up his phone.
A woman who looks that good and is here to see me? Maybe today is going to be a great day after all.
I walked out of the clubhouse and headed toward the gate. We do not let anyone past this point unless they are family or we asked them to come. Everyone else stops right here.
When I got closer, I saw a small white car. A woman with a great body got out of the driver’s side. I felt like I had seen her before. She had the kind of curves I really like. She wore a blue shirt that did not hide her large breasts, and her shorts were tight around her full thighs. Her dark hair was up in a loose knot. She had no makeup on at all. Just looking at her made me hard. She was fucking beautiful, exactly my type—a real woman with plenty to hold onto. I could not help imagining what it would be like to be with her, surrounded by all that softness. She gave me a shy smile and a small wave.
I signaled for Max to open the gate and stepped outside. Then I told him to give us some space.
“Hey there. Do we know each other?”
Her expression changed from hopeful to sad, and her face lost some color.
“Well, about a month back, I was here for a party. I came with my friend Melanie. Her brother rides with the Roadsters.”
“Right, I kind of remember that night. I had a lot to drink.”
“Oh. Well, you and I, we ended up together.”
“We did?”
She let out a small, annoyed breath. I could have sworn I heard her say “of course” under her breath.
“Yes. I just thought you should know I am pregnant. I am not here to ask you for anything. I just believed you would want to know,” she said, her voice quiet.
“Sweetheart, I am fifty years old. There is no way I got you pregnant.”
“What does your age have to do with it? I am thirty three. My name is Lacy. I came with my friend to have some fun. I had a lot to drink too. You called me ‘number three’ and told me to call you ‘Daddy’ all night, which I really enjoyed. Anyway, we did not use protection, which was stupid for both of us. But we were both drunk and really wanted it. The funny part is, I was on birth control, and I was very careful to take it every day at the same time. But my doctor said these things can happen. So, yes. I am five weeks pregnant. You are the last man I was with, and the one before you was a full year ago.”
I just stood there, completely shocked, while she looked at me. There is no fucking way this is happening to me again. But if what she is saying is true, then I was her last partner.
“I will need a paternity test, of course. You are clearly healthy, and so am I, or the doctor would have mentioned something.”
She nodded. Her eyes were filling with tears. Please do not cry, beautiful. One tear escaped her left eye and rolled down her cheek. She wiped it away.
“Here is my phone number. Do you have something I can use for the test?” she asked, handing me a torn piece of paper.
I looked at her, confused. She rolled her eyes, which made me laugh a little. Here I am, a biker who could break her pretty neck without much trouble, and she just rolls her eyes at me.
“For the paternity test?” she said.
“Oh, right. Well, the best way to do that is when you are eight weeks along. Then they can take my blood and yours, and check it against the baby’s DNA in your blood.”
Her eyebrows went up at that.
I smiled at her. “Sorry to tell you, darlin’, but this is not my first time. My last woman got pregnant, and before I made her mine, I had the test done.”
“Oh, so our baby will have brothers or sisters?”
“No, honey. We lost that baby.”
“Oh, I am so sorry. That is awful. Um, I am not here to cause any problems. I did not know you were with someone when I walked up to you that night. I just saw you moving through the crowd and thought, damn, that is one fine man. It took a lot of drinks to get the courage to talk to you. And after watching you with other women that evening, and seeing how happy they looked, I really wanted my turn. Sorry, I am talking too much. I do that when I am nervous.” She gave me that shy smile again.
I smiled back. She was so fucking adorable.
“I am not with anyone. Not anymore. She cheated on me.”
Her gasp and the angry look on her face did something good for my pride.
“Why would she do that? You are like a dream. I would treat you so well,” she said, her voice dropping to a whisper at the end. I do not think she meant for me to hear that last part.
“Anyway, I will come back in three weeks. I will make an appointment, and then we can get it done. Could you text me your number so I can let you know about the appointment details?”
“You are not upset that I want a paternity test?”
“No, why would I be? That is a smart thing to ask for. I mean, I am just some random guy you were with at a party. I could be lying.”
“But you are not lying, are you?” I just knew, deep down, that she was telling the truth. It was the way she spoke and how she was handling all of this. Most women would scream and yell if a guy asked for a paternity test.
“No, I do not believe in lies. Lying never helps anything. Not even if you are trying to protect someone you care about. I believe in being honest, even when the truth hurts.”
“That is good to hear. I only know three other women who think that way.”
“I would like to meet them sometime.”
“Yeah, maybe,” I said, my voice low as I looked at her. “Listen, we have our own doctor who can do the test. No appointments needed. Do you have a safe place to live?”
“Um, yes. I have my own apartment. I work as a nurse, so I am not broke,” she said with a nervous laugh.
I cleared my throat at that laugh and shifted so she would not see the problem growing in my pants. The top of her head only came up to my chest, so she would definitely notice if I did not get myself under control. Think of Butcher without any clothes on, hairy Butcher naked. Yes, that did the trick.
“Well, I guess I will see you in three weeks then.”
She started to get back into her car, but I stopped her with a hand on her arm. She turned to look at me.
“We are having a birthday party tonight for a woman and a man who are with two of my brothers. Would you like to come? It starts at nine, and it will be a good time, pretty wild.”
She grinned at me, and I felt something funny in my chest. What the fuck is going on with me? The only other woman who made me feel this way was my Lori. From the second we reached for the same grapefruit, I was done for. Now here is another woman making me think about not being single anymore. I need to talk to Butcher.
“I would like that. I will be here.”
“Good. Tell the guy at the gate that Doc invited you. I will make sure he knows your name.”
“Okay. I will see you tonight.”
She got into her car. She backed up, waved, and I waved back. I kept watching the road long after she turned the corner and was gone.
“You all right, VP?”
I turned at the sound of Max’s voice.
“Yes. Who is working the gate tonight?”
“Asher and Jones.”
“Okay. Tell them a woman named Lacy is coming tonight to see me. They are to let her in. They are to treat her with the same respect they would give an Old Lady. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, VP. I will tell them.”
I nodded at him, and he let me back through the gate. I walked fast back to the clubhouse and went straight to Butcher’s office. I was thinking so much about Lacy that I did not even knock before I opened the door.
“Yes, Butcher. Make me come all over your face.”
I turned around fast and shut the door quietly. That is the second time I have walked in on Butcher and Kiki in his office. I really need to remember to knock next time. He would probably shoot me if I interrupted him again. I stared hard at the door. He has been spending a lot of time with Kiki lately. That is not like him. Normally, he is with a club girl once or twice and then moves on, but he and her have been together for about a month now. Something to think about. Maybe both of us are considering some changes in our lives.
